Second Spring Reviews
Markie Robson-Scott The Arts Desk
The eerie, clanging dissonance of trombonist Peter Zummo's score is a perfect accompaniment to this unsettling, open-ended story.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 7, 2021
Tom Beasley Movies on Weekends
An inherent lack of direction is part of the movie's appeal, but it ultimately feels lacking in the sort of incisive emotional power of other recent movies.

Phil Hoad Guardian
There's an unlikely, bracing optimism here.

Christopher Machell CineVue
Second Spring's contemplative tone is perfectly suited to its humane study of illness, ignoring easy narrative resolutions to instead seek imperfect but complex emotional acceptance.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 4, 2021
Alysha Prasad One Room With A View
The film is disjointed in its execution... Despite this, Second Spring ends with a sense of hope that Kathy will be able to find herself and her purpose again, and there is definitely something very moving about that.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 17, 2020
